Preliminary scope of work

Bakalářská práce shrne základní aspekty geologické stavby a mineralizace v oblasti jižního etiopského štítu. Těžiště práce bude v rešerši publikovaných dat a informací, student bude v tomto smyslu čerpat z širšího spektra mezinárodní literatury. Práci doplní základní analýza výbrusového materiálu včetně mikrosondových analýz z alterovaných hornin s indikacemi zlatonosného zrudnění v severní části jednotky Adola.
